Global Collapse

Chapter 82 The Killing Game (Part Twelve)

The fat man didn't seem too keen on discussing this kind of issue with Gu Mian.

The two walked silently toward the mine entrance.

But after they had walked a short distance, they simultaneously heard a sound coming from the darkness ahead.

It was very dark down in the mine.

Even with a searchlight, it's impossible to distinguish between humans and animals from five meters away, but sound can travel a long distance.

They heard footsteps coming from ahead.

It seems a large group of people have also come down from the mine shaft and are now heading in their direction.

Gu Mian listened intently to the footsteps coming from ahead: "It sounds like there are a lot of people."

The fat man also stopped in his tracks.

The pitch-black mine tunnels obstructed their vision, making their hearing exceptionally sharp.

The fat man heard it clearly too: "I heard it too. The footsteps sounded rather uniform. Could it be the army?"

An army? Could it be the army of this instance world?
Gu Mian touched her chin, then immediately turned around and tried to walk back.

The fat man followed: "Doctor, you wouldn't be able to beat the army here, would you?"

He was asking a question, but the fat man still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that Gu Mian could fight her way through the machine gun fire single-handedly against a hundred men.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Mian spoke quite frankly: "Not only can't we beat them, we'd be riddled with holes!"

The fat man was surprised by Gu Mian's calmness and paused for a moment before asking, "Then what's the point of us going back?"

There is only one road from here to the exit, but that road has been blocked by the army that has entered the mine. At this moment, Gu Mian turned back and walked deeper into the mine.

“It’s better to go deeper than to run into an army that might be armed with machine guns,” Gu Mian said. “Of course, if you could conjure up a rocket launcher for me right now, I’d turn around and level them all.”

He continued, "There is a track in the middle of this mine tunnel. There must be vehicles or something that transport coal on the track, but we haven't seen any vehicles at all from the mine entrance to here. Maybe the vehicles are deep inside the mine."

"The mine cart should be quite sturdy and bulletproof"—Gu Mian had never seen a mine cart before; this was just his guess.

The fat man seemed to understand: "Doctor, you mean we should drive out?"

"It's better than appearing naked in front of the army, isn't it?" Gu Mian patted her slightly dirty white coat.

Although they are not exactly naked now, they are not much better off.

I wonder if special items like "armor" will appear in the future.

The two talked as they quickly walked deeper into the mine.

In the live broadcast room, Mr. Killer's expression was not good.

He had been closely monitoring the two participants who had entered the mine.

When he saw Gu Mian find Sean's real face, he thought the game for this participant was over.

All the viewers watching the live stream were excitedly anticipating his elimination. They were seasoned viewers who had seen countless live streams of killing games, and many had mistakenly entered the mine, only to be cruelly devoured by Sean, leaving behind only their faces. Just when the viewers thought another face was about to be ripped off, the doctor in the white coat suddenly unleashed his fury, grabbing a tattered chair leg and wildly swinging it at Sean's face.

And he actually managed to hit me.

What's even more infuriating is that this doctor actually dared to make blatant threats.

Viewers have seen monsters in forbidden areas kill participants many times, but this is the first time they have seen participants attack and threaten monsters, and in the end, the doctor even ripped off the monster's face!

"What's wrong with your show! How come those monsters have become so weak?" A viewer called to complain.

They didn't like this novel plot; what they wanted to see was the participants struggling desperately in the forbidden area. They loved to see the desperate expressions of the lower classes.

But instead of showing despair, the doctor seriously acted like a game streamer.

It's so infuriating it gives me a headache.

At this moment, Mr. Killer's face darkened slightly. He gently gripped the corner of the table and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't worry. Something has happened in the restricted area, and the monsters within have been cleared."

"Our security team is on its way to clean up the area. We have received your complaints and a team has already gone to the mine. They will definitely give us a satisfactory response."

Mr. Killer continued, "You will see what you want to see."

As he spoke, he turned his head to the screen behind him, which only showed the figures of Gu Mian and the fat man.

The fat man was following closely behind Gu Mian. They were moving very fast, but they could hear sounds coming from behind them that were gradually getting closer.

At this moment, the fat man almost started running: "Doctor, why do I feel like that group of people behind me is getting closer and closer? Am I just imagining things?"

"No," Gu Mian said, moving forward quickly. "You didn't overthink it, I heard it too."

The two hurried deeper into the mine, having already passed the location of Sean's face.

The sound behind me was getting closer.

Five meters below the surface of the mine shaft, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. The fat man frequently looked back.

He had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before he could see the army behind him.

Thinking of this, the fat man's face fell, and he looked like he was about to cry: "Doctor, what if they catch up with us?"

"If we get caught, we'll be riddled with bullets," Gu Mian glanced at the fat man's miserable face. "So you have to run faster. The mine tunnel is getting narrower and narrower. We're almost at the end."

Presumably, the coal transport trucks were parked at the end of the mine road.

Mr. Killer stared at the screen: "It seems these two participants are also aware of the approaching danger, but even if they desperately try to escape now, the outcome is still inevitable."

"This mine is a dead end, and both participants will eventually encounter our Order Guard."

"What interesting things will happen then? Let's wait and see... Now let's switch to the other participants' screens."

"Hmm? It seems there were other participants who entered this mine before the two of them?"
